Works at the "Speed of Light": Prototype of New Computer Developed at NCFM

Device will speed up problem-solving by 100-1000 times

At the National Center for Physics and Mathematics (NCFM), a prototype of a hybrid electronic-photonic computing system capable of operating at the "speed of light" has been developed. This was announced by the scientific director of NCFM, Alexander Sergeev.

 Our task now is to put the device in a real-life situation so that it works, and it will work where optical information needs to be processed.
Alexander Sergeev, Scientific Director of NCFM

According to Sergeev, they plan to create a user-friendly interface for the new system to interact with classic electronic computers.

To create a system with a heterogeneous architecture, where there is information processing in universal computer processors, in a photonic device, and others.
Alexander Sergeev, Scientific Director of NCFM

Unlike modern electronic computing machines with universal processors and graphics accelerators, specialized photonic computing systems can significantly speed up problem-solving — by 100-1000 times.

Work on the device is scheduled to be completed in 2027.

Earlier, www1.ru reported that HyperPC Wall was unveiled in Russia.
